 燃料タンクから供給される燃料をインジェクタ側へ圧送する高圧燃料ポンプがある。高圧燃料ポンプは、内燃機関のカムシャフトの回転により駆動されるプランジャの往復移動によって燃料の加圧及び吐出を行っている。このような高圧燃料ポンプは、該高圧燃料ポンプからインジェクタへの燃料の吐出量の変化やインジェクタの噴射量の変化によって燃料チャンバにおいて脈動が発生するため、燃料チャンバに発生する脈動を低減させるメタルダイアフラムダンパが内蔵されていることが一般的である。 There is a high-pressure fuel pump that pumps fuel supplied from the fuel tank to the injector. The high pressure fuel pump pressurizes and discharges fuel by reciprocating movement of a plunger driven by rotation of a camshaft of an internal combustion engine. In such a high pressure fuel pump, a pulsation is generated in the fuel chamber due to a change in the amount of fuel discharged from the high pressure fuel pump to the injector and a change in the injection amount of the injector. Generally, a damper is built in.
 例えば、特許文献1に開示されているようなメタルダイアフラムダンパは、2枚の円板状のダイアフラムが外径縁部で溶接されることにより、内部に所定圧の気体が封入される密閉空間が形成されており、燃料チャンバ内に設けられている。燃料チャンバは、ハウジングとハウジングカバーとの間に形成された空間であり、内周面には環状の取付部材が摩擦係合により取付けられている。取付部材は、周方向の複数個所にクリップ状の保持部を有しており、保持部により外径縁部が挟まれることでメタルダイアフラムダンパが燃料チャンバを区画するように設置されている。また、取付部材とメタルダイアフラムダンパとの径方向の隙間を通って燃料チャンバにおけるメタルダイアフラムダンパの表裏両側の空間に燃料が回り込むことが可能となっている。 For example, in a metal diaphragm damper as disclosed in Patent Document 1, two disk-shaped diaphragms are welded at the outer diameter edge portion, so that a sealed space in which a gas of a predetermined pressure is sealed is formed. Formed in the fuel chamber. The fuel chamber is a space formed between the housing and the housing cover, and an annular mounting member is attached to the inner peripheral surface by friction engagement. The mounting member has clip-shaped holding portions at a plurality of locations in the circumferential direction, and the metal diaphragm damper is installed so as to partition the fuel chamber by sandwiching the outer diameter edge portion by the holding portions. Further, the fuel can flow into the space on both the front and back sides of the metal diaphragm damper in the fuel chamber through the radial gap between the mounting member and the metal diaphragm damper.
 このメタルダイアフラムダンパは、脈動を伴う燃料圧を受けて各ダイアフラムがそれぞれ弾性変形することにより、燃料チャンバの容積を可変し、脈動を低減している。また、例えば、衝撃波を伴う脈動をメタルダイアフラムダンパの一方側から受けたときには、ダイアフラムの外径縁部または取付部材が変形して両ダイアフラムを一体的に他方側に移動させつつ脈動を低減させることができるようになっている。 This metal diaphragm damper reduces the pulsation by changing the volume of the fuel chamber by elastically deforming each diaphragm in response to the fuel pressure accompanied by the pulsation. Also, for example, when a pulsation accompanied by a shock wave is received from one side of the metal diaphragm damper, the outer diameter edge of the diaphragm or the mounting member is deformed to reduce the pulsation while integrally moving both diaphragms to the other side. Can be done.

 特許文献1のメタルダイアフラムダンパは、各ダイアフラムの弾性変形と両ダイアフラムの一体的な移動とを行うことができるため、高い脈動低減能力を実現できるが、メタルダイアフラムダンパを保持するために別体の取付部材を用いているため、部品点数が多く構造が複雑であり組立作業などが煩雑であった。また、クリップ状の保持部は、ダイアフラムの溶接箇所である外径縁部から内径側にかけて挟持しているため、ダイアフラムの溶接箇所よりも内径側の変形可能部分の変形に影響を与えるものであった。 Since the metal diaphragm damper of Patent Document 1 can perform elastic deformation of each diaphragm and integral movement of both diaphragms, high pulsation reduction capability can be realized, but a separate diaphragm is used to hold the metal diaphragm damper. Since the mounting member is used, the number of parts is large, the structure is complicated, and the assembling work is complicated. Further, since the clip-shaped holding portion is sandwiched from the outer diameter edge portion where the diaphragm is welded to the inner diameter side, it affects the deformation of the deformable portion on the inner diameter side with respect to the diaphragm welding position. It was.
 本発明は、このような問題点に着目してなされたもので、簡素な構造で高い脈動低減機能を発揮できるメタルダイアフラムダンパの取付構造を提供することを目的とする。 This invention was made paying attention to such a problem, and it aims at providing the attachment structure of the metal diaphragm damper which can exhibit a high pulsation reduction function with a simple structure.

 本発明に係るメタルダイアフラムダンパを実施するための形態を実施例に基づいて以下に説明する。 DETAILED DESCRIPTION Embodiments for implementing a metal diaphragm damper according to the present invention will be described below based on examples.
 実施例1に係るメタルダイアフラムダンパの取付構造につき、図1から図5を参照して説明する。 The metal diaphragm damper mounting structure according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
 本実施例のメタルダイアフラムダンパ1は、図1に示されるように、燃料タンクから図示しない燃料入口を通して供給される燃料をインジェクタ側へ圧送する高圧燃料ポンプ10に内蔵されている。高圧燃料ポンプ10は、内燃機関の図示しないカムシャフトの回転により駆動されるプランジャ12の往復移動によって燃料の加圧及び吐出を行っている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the metal diaphragm damper 1 of this embodiment is built in a high-pressure fuel pump 10 that pumps fuel supplied from a fuel tank through a fuel inlet (not shown) to the injector side. The high-pressure fuel pump 10 pressurizes and discharges fuel by reciprocating movement of a plunger 12 driven by rotation of a camshaft (not shown) of the internal combustion engine.
 高圧燃料ポンプ10内における燃料の加圧及び吐出の仕組みとして、先ず、プランジャ12が下降するときに吸入弁13を開けて燃料入口側に形成される燃料チャンバ11から加圧室14へ燃料を吸入する吸入行程が行われる。次に、プランジャ12が上昇するときに加圧室14の燃料の一部を燃料チャンバ11へ戻す調量行程が行われて、吸入弁13を閉じた後、プランジャ12がさらに上昇するときに燃料を加圧する加圧行程が行われる。このように、高圧燃料ポンプ10は、吸入行程、調量行程及び加圧行程のサイクルを繰り返すことにより、燃料を加圧して吐出弁15を開いてインジェクタ側へ吐出している。このとき、高圧燃料ポンプ10からインジェクタへの燃料の吐出量の変化やインジェクタの噴射量の変化によって燃料チャンバ11において高圧と低圧を繰り返す脈動が発生する。 As a mechanism for pressurizing and discharging the fuel in the high-pressure fuel pump 10, first, when the plunger 12 descends, the suction valve 13 is opened and the fuel is sucked into the pressurizing chamber 14 from the fuel chamber 11 formed on the fuel inlet side. An inhalation stroke is performed. Next, when the plunger 12 is raised, a metering process is performed to return a part of the fuel in the pressurizing chamber 14 to the fuel chamber 11, and after closing the intake valve 13, the fuel is raised when the plunger 12 further rises. A pressurizing step for pressurizing is performed. Thus, the high-pressure fuel pump 10 pressurizes fuel by repeating the cycle of the intake stroke, the metering stroke, and the pressurization stroke, opens the discharge valve 15 and discharges the fuel to the injector side. At this time, a pulsation that repeats high pressure and low pressure occurs in the fuel chamber 11 due to a change in the amount of fuel discharged from the high pressure fuel pump 10 to the injector and a change in the injection amount of the injector.
 本実施例のメタルダイアフラムダンパ1は、このような高圧燃料ポンプ10の燃料チャンバ11(空間)において発生する脈動を低減するために使用される。尚、メタルダイアフラムダンパ1は、高圧燃料ポンプ10の燃料チャンバ11を上下に区画するように配置されている。燃料チャンバ11は、高圧燃料ポンプ10のハウジング16に形成される下方に凹む凹部16aと、凹部16aを閉塞する断面下向きU字状のハウジングカバー17と、により構成されており、メタルダイアフラムダンパ1は、後述する外周部21,21がハウジング16とハウジングカバー17とによって狭持されている。 The metal diaphragm damper 1 of the present embodiment is used for reducing pulsation generated in the fuel chamber 11 (space) of such a high-pressure fuel pump 10. The metal diaphragm damper 1 is disposed so as to divide the fuel chamber 11 of the high-pressure fuel pump 10 vertically. The fuel chamber 11 is composed of a recessed portion 16a that is recessed downward formed in the housing 16 of the high-pressure fuel pump 10 and a housing cover 17 that has a U-shaped section that faces downward and closes the recessed portion 16a. The metal diaphragm damper 1 is The outer peripheral portions 21 and 21 described later are sandwiched between the housing 16 and the housing cover 17.
 図2,図4に示されるように、ハウジング16の上端縁の内径側にはハウジング本体部16Aよりも薄肉の環状の壁部16bが上方に延出して形成されており、壁部16bとハウジング本体部16Aとの間には段部16eが形成されている。段部16eは、壁部16bの外周面と、壁部16bと直交するように外径側に延びる水平面16fと、水平面16fの外縁から直交するように延びるハウジング本体部16Aの外周面と、から構成されている。また、壁部16bには、さらに上方に延出する凸状部16cが周方向に所定間隔離間して形成されている。つまり、隣接する凸状部16c同士の間には、凸状部16cの側面と壁部16bの上端面とで形成される凹状部16dが形成されている。尚、図2では、説明の便宜上、ハウジング16の下部の構造の図示を省略している。 As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, an annular wall 16b thinner than the housing body 16A is formed on the inner diameter side of the upper end edge of the housing 16 so as to extend upward. A step portion 16e is formed between the main body portion 16A. The step portion 16e includes an outer peripheral surface of the wall portion 16b, a horizontal surface 16f extending to the outer diameter side so as to be orthogonal to the wall portion 16b, and an outer peripheral surface of the housing main body portion 16A extending so as to be orthogonal to the outer edge of the horizontal surface 16f. It is configured. Further, convex portions 16c extending further upward are formed on the wall portion 16b at a predetermined interval in the circumferential direction. That is, a concave portion 16d formed by the side surface of the convex portion 16c and the upper end surface of the wall portion 16b is formed between the adjacent convex portions 16c. In FIG. 2, for convenience of explanation, illustration of the structure below the housing 16 is omitted.
 ハウジングカバー17の下端部は、壁部16bに外嵌する筒状部17aが形成されており、筒状部17aは、壁部16bに外嵌した状態において、その下端面が段部16eの水平面16fに接触して上下方向に位置決めされる。 The lower end portion of the housing cover 17 is formed with a cylindrical portion 17a that is externally fitted to the wall portion 16b. In the state where the cylindrical portion 17a is externally fitted to the wall portion 16b, the lower end surface is a horizontal surface of the step portion 16e. Positioned in the vertical direction in contact with 16f.
 筒状部17aの内径側には、壁部16bに外嵌した状態で凸状部16cと上下方向に距離L1(図4(b)参照)を空けて対向するように凸状部16c側に延出する凸状部17bと、凹状部16dと対向するように凹状部16dと反対側(上側)に凹設される凹状部17cと、が形成されている。このように、凸状部16cと凸状部17bとはメタルダイアフラムダンパ1に対して上下方向に反対側の位置に配置されている。凹状部16dと凹状部17cについても同様である。 On the inner diameter side of the cylindrical portion 17a, the convex portion 16c is disposed so as to face the convex portion 16c with a distance L1 (see FIG. 4B) in the vertical direction in a state of being fitted to the wall portion 16b. An extending convex portion 17b and a concave portion 17c provided on the opposite side (upper side) of the concave portion 16d so as to face the concave portion 16d are formed. Thus, the convex part 16c and the convex part 17b are arrange | positioned with respect to the metal diaphragm damper 1 in the position on the opposite side to an up-down direction. The same applies to the concave portion 16d and the concave portion 17c.
 すなわち、ハウジング16にハウジングカバー17が取付けられた状態において、凹状部16dと凹状部17cとの距離L2(図4(c)参照)は、凸状部16cと凸状部16cとの距離L1よりも長くなっているとともに、凸状部16cと凸状部17bとの間に形成される隙間S1(図4(b)参照)と、凹状部16dと凹状部17cとの間に形成される隙間S2(図4(c)参照)とは、ハウジング16とハウジングカバー17との内側に設けられ外径側に凹み周方向に亘って連続している。尚、ハウジング16とハウジングカバー17とは、レーザ溶接により密封状に固定される。 That is, in a state where the housing cover 17 is attached to the housing 16, the distance L2 between the concave portion 16d and the concave portion 17c (see FIG. 4C) is greater than the distance L1 between the convex portion 16c and the convex portion 16c. And a gap S1 formed between the convex portion 16c and the convex portion 17b (see FIG. 4B) and a gap formed between the concave portion 16d and the concave portion 17c. S2 (refer to FIG. 4C) is provided inside the housing 16 and the housing cover 17 and is recessed on the outer diameter side in the circumferential direction. The housing 16 and the housing cover 17 are fixed in a sealed manner by laser welding.
 図1及び図2に示されるように、メタルダイアフラムダンパ1は、2枚の円板状のダイアフラム2a,2bがレーザ溶接により全周に亘って気密に接合されることにより円盤状に構成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the metal diaphragm damper 1 is configured in a disk shape by two disk-shaped diaphragms 2a and 2b being joined together in an air-tight manner by laser welding. Yes.
 詳しくは、ダイアフラム2a,2bは、外周部21,21を残してその内側に溶接部W(特に図4(a)参照)が形成されており、外周部21,21の外縁には、内径側に凹む平面視U字状の切欠き21a,21aが周方向に複数形成されている(尚、切欠き21a,21aは切り欠き加工を要件とはするものではなく切り欠かれた形状であればよい。)。すなわち、外周部21には、平面視複数の山型の板状部21b(すなわち切欠き21a以外の残存する部分)が形成されている。ダイアフラム2a,2bの各切欠き21a及び各板状部21bは、互いの周方向の位置を合わせた状態で溶接固定されている。尚、本実施例における外周部21とは、ダイアフラム2a,2bにおいて溶接部Wよりも外径側の部分を指す。 Specifically, the diaphragms 2a and 2b are formed with a welded portion W (particularly see FIG. 4A) inside the outer peripheral portions 21 and 21, and the outer edges of the outer peripheral portions 21 and 21 on the inner diameter side. A plurality of U-shaped cutouts 21a and 21a in a plan view that are recessed in the circumferential direction are formed in the circumferential direction (note that the cutouts 21a and 21a do not require cutout processing but are cutout shapes) Good.) That is, the outer peripheral portion 21 is formed with a plurality of mountain-shaped plate-like portions 21b in plan view (that is, remaining portions other than the notches 21a). The notches 21a and the plate-like portions 21b of the diaphragms 2a and 2b are welded and fixed with their positions in the circumferential direction being matched. In addition, the outer peripheral part 21 in a present Example points out the outer diameter side part rather than the welding part W in diaphragm 2a, 2b.
 接合されたダイアフラム2a,2bの間に形成される密閉空間S3(すなわちメタルダイアフラムダンパ1の内部空間(図1及び図4参照))内には、アルゴン、ヘリウム等から構成される所定圧力の気体が封入されている。尚、メタルダイアフラムダンパ1は、密閉空間S3に封入される気体の内部圧によって容積変化量の調整を行うことにより、好適な脈動吸収性能を得ることができる。 In a sealed space S3 formed between the joined diaphragms 2a and 2b (that is, an internal space of the metal diaphragm damper 1 (see FIGS. 1 and 4)), a gas having a predetermined pressure composed of argon, helium, or the like. Is enclosed. In addition, the metal diaphragm damper 1 can obtain suitable pulsation absorption performance by adjusting the volume change amount by the internal pressure of the gas sealed in the sealed space S3.
 図3及び図4(a)に示されるように、ダイアフラム2a,2bは、金属板のプレス加工により成形され、外径側から順に外周部21と、湾曲部22と、中央側(内径側)の変形作用部23と、がそれぞれ形成されている。ダイアフラム2a,2bを構成する金属板は、同一素材、かつ略同形状の2枚の金属板を重ねて溶接部Wにおいてレーザ溶接されており、全体が均一な厚みを有している。尚、図3では、実際には、紙面手前側にハウジング16が存在するが、説明の便宜上、ハウジング16の構成の図示を省略している。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4A, the diaphragms 2a and 2b are formed by pressing a metal plate, and in order from the outer diameter side, the outer peripheral portion 21, the curved portion 22, and the central side (inner diameter side). The deformation acting portions 23 are respectively formed. The metal plates constituting the diaphragms 2a and 2b are laser-welded at the welded portion W by superimposing two metal plates of the same material and substantially the same shape, and the whole has a uniform thickness. In FIG. 3, the housing 16 actually exists on the front side of the sheet, but the illustration of the configuration of the housing 16 is omitted for convenience of explanation.
 特に、図4(a)に示されるように、ダイアフラム2a,2bの外周部21,21である板状部21b,21bは、外径方向にいくにつれ互いに離間(図4において上下方向に離間、以下同様。)する方向に開いて形成されている。また、ダイアフラム2a,2bの湾曲部22,22は、溶接部Wから内径側に向けて断面S字状に湾曲しており、溶接部W側の基端部である第1湾曲部22a,22aは、その頂部が互いに近づくように湾曲しており、変形作用部23側の第2湾曲部22b,22bは、互いに離間する方向に湾曲している。尚、第1湾曲部22a,22aは、ダイアフラム2a,2bに脈動が作用していない時(すなわち燃料チャンバ11内が低圧時)において互いに接触している。 In particular, as shown in FIG. 4A, the plate- like portions 21b and 21b, which are the outer peripheral portions 21 and 21 of the diaphragms 2a and 2b, are separated from each other as they go in the outer diameter direction (in FIG. The same shall apply hereinafter.) Further, the curved portions 22 and 22 of the diaphragms 2a and 2b are curved in an S-shaped cross section from the welded portion W toward the inner diameter side, and the first curved portions 22a and 22a that are base end portions on the welded portion W side. Are curved so that their tops approach each other, and the second bending parts 22b, 22b on the deformation acting part 23 side are curved in directions away from each other. The first curved portions 22a and 22a are in contact with each other when no pulsation is applied to the diaphragms 2a and 2b (that is, when the fuel chamber 11 is at a low pressure).
 変形作用部23は、ドーム状を成し、外部の圧力と密閉空間S3に封入される気体の内部圧との差圧によって弾性変形する部分である。尚、変形作用部23は、形状を単一の連続する曲面としてもよいし、複数の曲面を有する形状例えば、断面視波板形状としてもよく、自由に変更できる。 The deformation acting part 23 is a dome-shaped part that is elastically deformed by the differential pressure between the external pressure and the internal pressure of the gas sealed in the sealed space S3. In addition, the deformation | transformation action part 23 is good also as a shape which has a single continuous curved surface, and a shape which has several curved surfaces, for example, a cross-sectional view waveplate shape, It can change freely.
 図3及び図4(b)に示されるように、メタルダイアフラムダンパ1は、ダイアフラム2a,2bの各板状部21bがハウジング16の凸状部16cとハウジングカバー17の凸状部17bとの間(隙間S1)で板厚方向に狭持される。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4B, in the metal diaphragm damper 1, the plate-like portions 21b of the diaphragms 2a and 2b are located between the convex portion 16c of the housing 16 and the convex portion 17b of the housing cover 17. It is held in the thickness direction by (gap S1).
 具体的には、外周部21,21である板状部21b,21bが凸状部16cと凸状部17bとの間で狭持される前の状態(図4(a)参照)にあっては、外周部21,21の外縁が、距離L10分板厚方向に離間している。また、外周部21,21である板状部21b,21bが凸状部16cと凸状部17bとの間で狭持された状態(図4(b)参照)にあっては、外周部21,21の外縁が距離L10よりも短い距離L1分板厚方向に離間した状態で平行となる(L1<L10)。すなわち、外周部21,21が凸状部16cと凸状部17bとの間で狭持されたときに、凸状部16cと凸状部17bとに外周部21,21の弾性復帰力が働くため、ハウジング16とハウジングカバー17との寸法精度に関わらずメタルダイアフラムダンパ1をがたつかせることなく確実に取付けることができる。また、メタルダイアフラムダンパ1の外径は、筒状部17aの内径よりも小さく形成されているため、メタルダイアフラムダンパ1と筒状部17aとには、径方向に隙間が形成されている。 Specifically, in the state before the plate- like portions 21b and 21b, which are the outer peripheral portions 21 and 21, are sandwiched between the convex portion 16c and the convex portion 17b (see FIG. 4A). The outer edges of the outer peripheral portions 21 and 21 are separated from each other in the plate thickness direction by a distance L10. In the state where the plate- like portions 21b and 21b, which are the outer peripheral portions 21 and 21, are sandwiched between the convex portion 16c and the convex portion 17b (see FIG. 4B), the outer peripheral portion 21. , 21 are parallel to each other with a distance L1 that is shorter than the distance L10 and spaced apart in the plate thickness direction (L1 <L10). That is, when the outer peripheral parts 21 and 21 are sandwiched between the convex part 16c and the convex part 17b, the elastic restoring force of the outer peripheral parts 21 and 21 acts on the convex part 16c and the convex part 17b. Therefore, regardless of the dimensional accuracy of the housing 16 and the housing cover 17, the metal diaphragm damper 1 can be securely attached without rattling. Further, since the outer diameter of the metal diaphragm damper 1 is smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion 17a, a gap is formed in the radial direction between the metal diaphragm damper 1 and the cylindrical portion 17a.
 図3及び図4(c)に示されるように、ダイアフラム2a,2bの各切欠き21aは、メタルダイアフラムダンパ1がハウジング16とハウジングカバー17との間に取付けられた状態において、一部が燃料チャンバ11内に配置されている。そのため、燃料チャンバ11内の燃料を各切欠き21aを通してメタルダイアフラムダンパ1の一方側(下側)と他方側(上側)とに移動させることができる。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 (c), the notches 21a of the diaphragms 2a and 2b are partially fueled in a state where the metal diaphragm damper 1 is mounted between the housing 16 and the housing cover 17. It is disposed in the chamber 11. Therefore, the fuel in the fuel chamber 11 can be moved to one side (lower side) and the other side (upper side) of the metal diaphragm damper 1 through the notches 21a.
 また、各切欠き21aは、凹状部16dと凹状部17cとの隙間S2(連通溝)と連通しており、隙間S2は、隙間S1よりも上下方向に大きくなっている。すなわち、各切欠き21aと隙間S2とは、メタルダイアフラムダンパ1の一方側と他方側とに連通する連通路として機能しており、連通路の流路断面積を広く構成することができる。また、隙間S1,S2は、周方向に亘って連続しているので、周方向に分断される場合に比べて連通路の流路断面積を広く形成できる。また、切欠き21aは、外周部21,21の外縁を切り欠いて形成されているので、外周部21,21の径方向の幅が狭い場合であっても連通路を形成することができる。 Further, each notch 21a communicates with a gap S2 (communication groove) between the concave portion 16d and the concave portion 17c, and the gap S2 is larger in the vertical direction than the gap S1. That is, each notch 21a and the gap S2 function as a communication path communicating with one side and the other side of the metal diaphragm damper 1, and the flow passage cross-sectional area of the communication path can be widened. Further, since the gaps S1 and S2 are continuous in the circumferential direction, the flow passage cross-sectional area of the communication path can be formed wider than in the case where the gaps are divided in the circumferential direction. Moreover, since the notch 21a is formed by notching the outer edges of the outer peripheral portions 21, 21, a communication path can be formed even when the outer peripheral portions 21, 21 have a narrow radial width.
 次いで、動作について説明する。図5(a)に示されるように、脈動に伴う燃料圧が低圧から高圧になり、ダイアフラム2a,2bが燃料チャンバ11側から略均一に燃料圧を受けると、変形作用部23,23が密閉空間S3側に押し潰されるように変形する。尚、変形作用部23,23が密閉空間S3側に押し潰されることにより、密閉空間S3内の気体は、圧縮される。 Next, the operation will be described. As shown in FIG. 5A, when the fuel pressure associated with the pulsation changes from a low pressure to a high pressure and the diaphragms 2a and 2b receive the fuel pressure almost uniformly from the fuel chamber 11 side, the deformation acting portions 23 and 23 are sealed. The space S3 is deformed so as to be crushed. In addition, when the deformation | transformation action parts 23 and 23 are crushed by the sealed space S3 side, the gas in sealed space S3 is compressed.
 変形作用部23,23が密閉空間S3側に押し潰されると、ダイアフラム2a,2bが外径方向に拡径する。前述のように、メタルダイアフラムダンパ1と筒状部17aとには、径方向に隙間が形成されているので、ダイアフラム2a,2bの拡径が許容されるとともに、溶接部Wよりも内径側に設けられる湾曲部22,22が変形する。特に、湾曲部22,22は互いに近づく方向に変形することから、第1湾曲部22a,22a同士がさらに強く押し付けられ、該第1湾曲部22a,22aに応力が集中するようになる。これにより、溶接部Wに大きな応力がかかりにくくなっており、該溶接部Wの破損が防止される。 When the deformation acting portions 23 and 23 are crushed toward the sealed space S3, the diaphragms 2a and 2b expand in the outer diameter direction. As described above, since a gap is formed in the radial direction between the metal diaphragm damper 1 and the cylindrical portion 17a, the diameter of the diaphragms 2a and 2b is allowed to be increased, and the inner diameter side of the welded portion W is allowed. The provided curved portions 22 and 22 are deformed. In particular, since the curved portions 22 and 22 are deformed in a direction approaching each other, the first curved portions 22a and 22a are further strongly pressed to concentrate stress on the first curved portions 22a and 22a. Thereby, it is difficult to apply a large stress to the welded portion W, and damage to the welded portion W is prevented.
 このように、溶接部Wよりも外径側の外周部21,21がハウジング16とハウジングカバー17とによって狭持されるため、溶接部Wよりも内径側に配設される変形作用部23,23にハウジング16及びハウジングカバー17が接触することがなく、変形作用部23,23の弾性変形をハウジング16とハウジングカバー17とが阻害することがない。すなわち、ハウジング16及びハウジングカバー17が脈動低減機能に影響を与えないようにできる。 Thus, since the outer peripheral portions 21 and 21 on the outer diameter side of the welded portion W are sandwiched between the housing 16 and the housing cover 17, the deformation acting portions 23 disposed on the inner diameter side of the welded portion W, 23, the housing 16 and the housing cover 17 do not come into contact with each other, and the housing 16 and the housing cover 17 do not hinder the elastic deformation of the deformation acting portions 23, 23. That is, the housing 16 and the housing cover 17 can be prevented from affecting the pulsation reducing function.
 また、ダイアフラム2a,2bの外周部21,21をハウジング16とハウジングカバー17とによって直接狭持しているため、別体の取付部材等を用意する必要がなく、部品点数を少なくできる。すなわち、本実施例のメタルダイアフラムダンパ1の取付構造にあっては、高い脈動低減機能を簡素な構造で実現することができる。また、強度の高いハウジング16とハウジングカバー17とが外周部21,21を狭持するため、別体の取付部材でメタルダイアフラムダンパ1を保持する場合に比べて、メタルダイアフラムダンパ1を確実に保持できる。 Further, since the outer peripheral portions 21 and 21 of the diaphragms 2a and 2b are directly sandwiched by the housing 16 and the housing cover 17, it is not necessary to prepare separate mounting members and the like, and the number of parts can be reduced. That is, in the mounting structure of the metal diaphragm damper 1 of the present embodiment, a high pulsation reducing function can be realized with a simple structure. In addition, since the high-strength housing 16 and the housing cover 17 sandwich the outer peripheral portions 21 and 21, the metal diaphragm damper 1 is securely held as compared with the case where the metal diaphragm damper 1 is held by a separate mounting member. it can.
 また、図5(b)に示されるように、衝撃波を伴う大きな脈動をメタルダイアフラムダンパ1の一方側(下側)から受けたときには、その直後にダイアフラムダンパ1には全体的に他方側(上側)に湾曲することで衝撃波により生じる力を軽減できるようになっている。 Further, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), when a large pulsation accompanied by a shock wave is received from one side (lower side) of the metal diaphragm damper 1, the diaphragm damper 1 is entirely placed on the other side (upper side) immediately thereafter. ), The force generated by the shock wave can be reduced.
 具体的には、ダイアフラム2a,2bにおける溶接部Wよりも内側の部分が全体的にメタルダイアフラムダンパ1の上方側方向の力を受けると、ほぼ同時にダイアフラム2aの外周部21とダイアフラム2bの外周部21とが各々弾性変形や隙間S1を基点として回動する。ダイアフラム2aにおける湾曲部22及び変形作用部23は、上方側に燃料が存在することから上方側に僅かに湾曲する一方、ダイアフラム2bにおける湾曲部22及び変形作用部23は、さらに上方側へ押し上げられ、密閉空間S3側に押し潰されるように変形する(図5(b)参照)。その後、ダイアフラム2a側にも高圧の圧力が伝播すると、ダイアフラム2aも密閉空間S3側に押し潰され、ダイアフラムダンパ1は変形した状態となる(図5(a)参照)。 Specifically, when the inner portion of the diaphragms 2a and 2b than the welded portion W receives a force in the upper direction of the metal diaphragm damper 1 as a whole, the outer peripheral portion 21 of the diaphragm 2a and the outer peripheral portion of the diaphragm 2b almost simultaneously. 21 rotate with respect to the elastic deformation and the gap S1. The curved portion 22 and the deformation acting portion 23 in the diaphragm 2a are slightly curved upward because the fuel is present on the upper side, while the curved portion 22 and the deforming acting portion 23 in the diaphragm 2b are further pushed upward. And it deform | transforms so that it may be crushed by the sealed space S3 side (refer FIG.5 (b)). Thereafter, when a high pressure is propagated to the diaphragm 2a side, the diaphragm 2a is also crushed to the sealed space S3 side, and the diaphragm damper 1 is deformed (see FIG. 5A).
 このように、メタルダイアフラムダンパ1の固定部である外周部21,21よりも内側に溶接部Wを設けたので、外周部21,21を変形させてダイアフラム2a,2bにおける溶接部Wよりも内側の部分を移動させることができ、これにより衝撃波を伴う大きな脈動を低減できるようになっている。 As described above, since the welded portion W is provided on the inner side of the outer peripheral portions 21 and 21 which are the fixed portions of the metal diaphragm damper 1, the outer peripheral portions 21 and 21 are deformed to be on the inner side of the welded portion W in the diaphragms 2a and 2b. Thus, a large pulsation accompanied by a shock wave can be reduced.
 また、衝撃波を伴う大きな脈動を受けてメタルダイアフラムダンパ1が一方側から他方側に移動したときには、ダイアフラム2aの外周部21とダイアフラム2bの外周部21とが別々に弾性変形や回動し、ダイアフラム2aの外周部21とダイアフラム2bの外周部21とが異なる変形をするため、外周部21,21の別々の箇所に応力を分散でき、外周部21,21が破損することを抑制できる。 Further, when the metal diaphragm damper 1 is moved from one side to the other side due to a large pulsation accompanied by a shock wave, the outer peripheral portion 21 of the diaphragm 2a and the outer peripheral portion 21 of the diaphragm 2b are separately elastically deformed and rotated, and the diaphragm Since the outer peripheral portion 21 of 2a and the outer peripheral portion 21 of the diaphragm 2b are deformed differently, stress can be distributed to different portions of the outer peripheral portions 21 and 21, and the outer peripheral portions 21 and 21 can be prevented from being damaged.
 尚、メタルダイアフラムダンパ1が適用される高圧燃料ポンプ10の種類によってはダイアフラム2a,2bにおける溶接部Wよりも内側の部分が上方側から下方側に移動することもある。 In addition, depending on the type of the high-pressure fuel pump 10 to which the metal diaphragm damper 1 is applied, a portion inside the welded portion W in the diaphragms 2a and 2b may move from the upper side to the lower side.
 次に、実施例2に係るメタルダイアフラムダンパの取付構造ににつき、図6を参照して説明する。尚、前記実施例に示される構成部分と同一構成部分については同一符号を付して重複する説明を省略する。 Next, the metal diaphragm damper mounting structure according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Note that the same components as those shown in the above embodiment are given the same reference numerals and redundant description is omitted.
 図6(a)に示されるように、本実施例2のハウジング16の凸状部16c’とハウジングカバー17の凸状部17b’とは、前記実施例1よりも近付けて配設されており、メタルダイアフラムダンパ1は、外周部21,21が凸状部16c’と凸状部17b’との間で狭持された状態において、外周部21,21が板厚方向に当接した状態となっている。 As shown in FIG. 6A, the convex portion 16c ′ of the housing 16 and the convex portion 17b ′ of the housing cover 17 according to the second embodiment are arranged closer to those of the first embodiment. The metal diaphragm damper 1 includes a state in which the outer peripheral portions 21 and 21 are in contact with each other in the plate thickness direction in a state where the outer peripheral portions 21 and 21 are sandwiched between the convex portions 16c ′ and 17b ′. It has become.
 図6(b)に示されるように、ダイアフラム2a,2bにおける溶接部Wよりも内側の部分が一方側から他方側に大きな脈動を受けたときには、外周部21,21における凸状部16c’と凸状部17b’との内径側のエッジから変形する。すなわち、外周部21,21を一体的に変形させることができるとともに、外周部21,21を変形させるときに該外周部21,21の弾性復帰力がかからないので、ダイアフラム2a,2bにおける溶接部Wよりも内側の部分を移動させやすい。 As shown in FIG. 6 (b), when the portion inside the welded portion W in the diaphragms 2a and 2b receives a large pulsation from one side to the other side, the convex portion 16c ′ in the outer peripheral portions 21 and 21 It deforms from the edge on the inner diameter side with the convex portion 17b ′. That is, the outer peripheral portions 21 and 21 can be integrally deformed, and the elastic return force of the outer peripheral portions 21 and 21 is not applied when the outer peripheral portions 21 and 21 are deformed. It is easier to move the inner part than.
 尚、外周部21,21における凸状部16c’と凸状部17b’との内径側のエッジ部分を薄く形成して変形しやすくしてもよいし、前記エッジ部分を厚く形成して該エッジ部分の強度を高めるようにしてもよい。 In addition, the edge portions on the inner diameter side of the convex portions 16c ′ and the convex portions 17b ′ in the outer peripheral portions 21 and 21 may be formed thinly to be easily deformed, or the edge portions may be formed thick to form the edges. You may make it raise the intensity | strength of a part.

A plurality are formed apart from each other. As shown in FIG. 7B, each through hole 211b is disposed in the fuel chamber 11 in a state where the metal diaphragm damper 100 is mounted between the housing 16 and the housing cover 17, and each through hole 211b The fuel can be moved to one side and the other side of the metal diaphragm damper 100 through the hole 211b.
